As expected, after he took out the Sword of the Purple Sun and slashed at the rune wall, the rune wall broke apart. Then, Linlong walked unimpeded to the stone platform.
Looking at the Fire of the Metal Spiritual in front of him, he did not immediately refine it. First of all, this place was not safe. Second of all, he needed to use the external source of the Fire of the Spiritual Spiritual to heal Zhang Yuhan's body.
Therefore, he wrapped the Fire of the Metal Spiritual with his Qi and placed it in the Spatial Ring.
After that, he left the first floor.
…
"Look, the Tower of Suppressing Demons is changing!"
The people outside the Tower shouted in panic. They did not think that the Tower of Suppressing Demons, which represented the House of Zi Yang, would undergo such a change.
The clouds that originally lingered outside the pagoda had disappeared without a trace, and the originally incomparably sturdy walls of the pagoda also began to crack with a "kacha kacha" sound.
These cracks were not limited to one place. They covered the entire Tower. From the ninth floor to the first floor, the cracks were clearly visible.
As for the chains that connected the cliff to the Tower, they began to break one by one.
The cracking of the Tower and the breaking of the chains were not very loud, but it made the hearts of everyone in the House of Zi Yang clench.
Those who were still inside the Tower chanted the rune terms and exited the Tower. Seeing the changes in the Tower, they were equally shocked.
"What is happening?"
"Is the Tower going to collapse?"
"Is the House of Zi Yang going to experience some kind of tribulation?"
"If the Tower collapses, how are we going to increase our strength in the future?"
Everyone shouted, but no one could tell them the answer. Even the Headmaster and the Elders of the House of Zi Yang stared dumbly at the changes happening to the Tower of Suppressing Demons.
"Headmaster, Elders, what is going on?" Someone beside Xing Bai asked anxiously.
"I don't know."
Xing Bai and the other elders shook their heads. Their faces were unsightly.
The Pagoda of Sealing Demons was the symbol of the Zi Yang House. Now that it was being destroyed just like that, they were naturally panicking. However, nobody knew what was going on.
"The disciples who were injured just now said that the last level was only a small room, and there was only a ball of Spiritual Fire placed on the stone platform in the small room. Could it be that the damage to the pagoda is related to the Spiritual Fire?" At this moment, the Enforcement Elder suddenly said.
"There is indeed such a possibility."
"The Spiritual Flame is placed in the last layer, and it's the only one that exists. Perhaps, the Spiritual Flame is the core of the runic array in the pagoda. Once the Spiritual Flame is taken away, the runic array will naturally begin to collapse, which is why the pagoda is in its current state."
"Looks like it really is as Elder Cultivation Imparting Elder said."
After the Enforcement Elder mentioned this, the other elders all agreed with this point of view.
Suddenly, a white light flashed and a figure appeared on top of the long and narrow cliff.
"I'm afraid this is the last person." Seeing this person, some people couldn't help but say.
Before, no one had come out for a long time. They naturally thought this person was the last person. After all, after the great battle against the evil spirits, the number of people who entered and left the Pagoda of Sealing Demons was pitifully low.
"Eh, this person is Linlong!"
After seeing the person's face clearly, many people couldn't help but be shocked.
After all, Linlong was now a prominent figure in the Zi Yang House. He was the first to enter the third level and came out unscathed. Other than Linlong, no one else could do this.
Plus, Linlong and Nangong Yi had that kind of rumor.
Very quickly, the surrounding people were shocked again. They realized that the Headmaster, Xing Bai, and the other Elders had surrounded Linlong the moment he appeared. They all had unfriendly expressions on their faces.
Due to the sudden turn of events in the Demon Sealing Pagoda, almost every member of the Zi Yang Sect had gathered at the top of the cliff. When they discovered that Lin Long had been surrounded by the sect leader and the others, they naturally turned their attention to that spot as well.
As for the Demon Suppression Pagoda, they'd temporarily forgotten about it. After all, based on the extent of these cracks, it would take a very long time for the Demon Suppression Pagoda to collapse.
Looking at Xing Bai and the others, Linlong immediately understood that Xing Bai must have changed the location of the pagoda. Otherwise, it would not be so coincidental that they would be teleported to where Xing Bai and the others were.
"Lin Long, in order to obtain the Violet Sun Divine Sword and the Spirit Fire in the pagoda, you actually injured a senior brother from the same sect. What a heinous crime!" Xing Bai immediately shouted as he looked at Lin Long.
"If you wish to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext." Linlong couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"You're still quibbling?" Xing Bai immediately became furious.
At this moment, the five people who'd been injured by Lin Long on the first floor, who seemed to have long been prepared, immediately stepped forward. Even though some of them were injured, they still persisted in accusing Lin Long.
"Sect leader, disciplinary elder, this Lin Long was indeed ruthless towards us for these two items," they all said.
Although they said so, they all looked guilty. None of them dared to even look at Lin Long.
"Moreover, the Spirit Fire is the eye of the pagoda's runic matrix. You actually took it away, causing the pagoda to fall into such a state. The Demon Suppression Pagoda is the symbol of our Zi Yang Sect, but now it's collapsed because of you. Lin Long, you're the sinner of our Zi Yang Sect." Xing Bai loudly complained. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to take into consideration his status, he would probably be crying silently.
Hearing that the Demon Suppression Pagoda's current collapse had something to do with Lin Long, everyone's gaze immediately focused on him.
"Linlong, if you hand over the Divine Sword of the Violet Sun and the Spiritual Fire, perhaps the Zi Yang Sect will let you off the hook. Otherwise!" Xing Bai's expression immediately became cold as he stared at Linlong with a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
Xing Bai had to obtain the Violet Sun Divine Sword. When he heard those disciples say that when the Spiritual Fire burned, it was like golden liquid metal. He immediately thought of the Metal Spiritual Fire, so he naturally missed the Spiritual Fire.
"Lin Long, you're the sinner of the Zi Yang Sect. Hand over the sword and the Spirit Fire!"
"Lin Long, you're the sinner of the Zi Yang Sect. Hand over the sword and the Spirit Fire!"
"Lin Long, you're the sinner of the Zi Yang Sect. Hand over the sword and the Spirit Fire!"
… …
In an instant, the surrounding disciples of the Zi Yang Sect also began shouting loudly. Only the disciples of the Green Peak remained silent.
Li Muling, on the other hand, looked at Lin Long nervously. She also wanted Lin Long to hand over the violet sun sword and the Spiritual Fire, but her starting point was different from the others. In her opinion, only then would Lin Long be able to escape the punishment of the Sect Leader and the Law Enforcement Elder and avoid the calamity of prison.
As for Nangong Yi, although she looked indifferent, her heart was in a mess. She didn't even know what to think.
"Lin Long, if you don't hand it over, then don't blame us for being impolite!" Seeing that Lin Long didn't respond, Xing Bai's expression darkened and he said coldly.
"That's right, these two items are on me …"
Hearing Lin Long's words, Xing Bai and the others thought that Lin Long was going to hand over the two items. They were immediately overjoyed, but Lin Long's words took a turn. "However, how could I possibly hand them over to you, Xing Bai?"
As a former Martial Emperor, how could he hand over something that he had obtained? Furthermore, these two items were not given to him by the people of the Zi Yang House. They were things that he had worked so hard for, and it could even be said that he had risked his life for them.
These people wanted to take them away with one sentence. How could there be such a good thing?
As for explaining why these people framed him, Lin Long was too lazy to do that.
"Bastard, how dare you speak to the Head like this. Are you still a disciple of the Zi Yang Sect?"
Hearing Lin Long's words, many people started cursing.
The expressions of the Elder of Enforcement and the others changed as well. After all, Xing Bai was the Head of the Zi Yang Sect. Cursing Xing Bai was the same as cursing the Zi Yang Sect.
Seeing that everyone was on his side, Xing Bai was overjoyed. However, he didn't plan on doing it himself. After all, it was best to let the Elder of Enforcement deal with this.
"Lin Long, as a disciple of the Zi Yang Sect, you dare to disrespect the Head and refuse to hand over the two items. It seems like we can only take you down and serve you according to the law," the Elder of Enforcement stepped out and said coldly.
After he finished speaking, he leaped up and grabbed at Lin Long in front of him.
Immediately after he attacked, the powerful aura on his body caused the surrounding people to feel suffocated.
As expected of a Martial Lord. An ordinary strike had such powerful power. It seemed that Lin Long would definitely be subdued by that grab. That thought emerged in the hearts of the surrounding disciples.
But what they didn't expect was that Lin Long didn't seem to care about the Elder of Enforcement's grab. Moreover, his seemingly casual palm actually forced the Elder of Enforcement back.
How was that possible? Everyone was incomparably shocked when they saw that. One had to know that the Elder of Enforcement was a Mid Martial Lord! Even a casual strike from an expert like that was not something a Martial Master could handle!
The reason why they were so shocked was naturally because they didn't know Lin Long had already become a Martial Lord.
However, Xing Bai and the other experts naturally saw it clearly.
"Martial Lord! This Linlong has already become a Martial Lord!" An elder yelled with incomparable astonishment.
No wonder he was so shocked. Lin Long was too young! Besides, even Hua Haotian, who was once a genius, was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Master realm before he died.
Naturally, the ones who were most shocked were the Elder of Enforcement and Xing Bai because, having investigated Lin Long's strength, they clearly remembered that Lin Long didn't even have the strength of a ninth level Martial Master before!
Yet, in a blink, he became a Martial Lord. Talent like that was really too terrifying.
The Elder of Enforcement and Xing Bai had heard of Lin Long's strength from the disciples who entered the first floor, but they didn't believe Lin Long had truly become a Martial Lord. The reason for that was because it was really too difficult to become a Martial Lord. It wasn't something that could be realized in a few short months.
So, after hearing that Lin Long could send three Martial Masters flying with a single palm, their first thought was that the reason Lin Long had such strength was because he borrowed the energy of the Runic Formation.
They felt that this was the only logical explanation. However, the strength that Linlong displayed before them told them that they were wrong.
"What? Lin Long is already a Martial Lord?"
Hearing the elder's astonished yell, then seeing Xing Bai and the others' silence, everyone was endlessly shocked. They didn't expect Lin Long to be a Martial Lord.
In such shock, the incomparably noisy scene was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
"Even if he is a Martial Lord, he must receive the punishment of the school's laws!" After astonishment flashed onto his face, the Elder of Enforcement's face turned cold again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the jade bone in his hand.
Seeing his actions, the surrounding people were dumbfounded again. They didn't expect him to use the Jade Bone. One had to know that the Jade Bone was also a treasure of the Zi Yang School!
